Abstract

A water heating appliance 2 comprises a water heating chamber 4 having water heating means 14 associated therewith, a water receiving chamber 6 for receiving water to be heated in the water heating chamber 4 and a water treatment cartridge 8 arranged between the water receiving chamber 6 and the water heating chamber 4. A flow control valve 12 controls the flow of water from said water treatment cartridge 8 to the water heating chamber 4. A boiling sensitive control 18 is associated with the heating means 14 and operable to interrupt or reduce the power supply to the heating means 14 in the event of water boiling in the water heating chamber 4. The flow control valve 12 is operatively coupled to the boiling sensitive control 18 such that upon operation of the control 18 the flow control valve 12 closes to prevent the flow of water into the water heating chamber 4.
